Famous quotes containing the word society:

    “Society never advances. It recedes as fast on one side as it gains on the other.... Society acquires new arts, and loses old instincts.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “In great cities men are brought together by the desire of gain. They are not in a state of co-operation, but of isolation, as to the making of fortunes; and for all the rest they are careless of neighbours. Christianity teaches us to love our neighbour as ourself; modern society acknowledges no neighbour.”
    —Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)

    “Nobody thanks a witty man for politeness when he accommodates himself to a society in which it is not polite to display wit.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
